The UN Chief of Police Summit will be held at the UN Headquarters in New York City on July 7 and 8. The conference, dubbed “Investing in Peace,” will feature security ministers and police chiefs. Discussions will focus on “strengthening international peace, security, and development for all,” a UN writeup claims.

Four previous UN policing conferences have focused on cooperation across law enforcement internationally.

Ben Gvir will lead a delegation from Israel’s national security ministry to the policing conference.

While Ben Gvir is not expected to face difficulties entering the U.S. to attend the conference, Israeli officials are reportedly concerned about the possibility of protests against his presence in New York City.

    Mamdami is on record saying he'd arrest Netanyahu; why not Gvir?

    I'd bet real money that his security team will beat up some "protestors" while he's here for news clips back home. It always happens, and its always the israelis who start it.
